I have worked out how to send a message but no replies. This is my first multi game experience so maybe i am doing something wrong how or where do i see a reply. Apart from this problem I am really enjoying battling against a human instead of AI. The Round 3 Map Sevastopol is the best so far. I look forward to the World Championship and future multi player games. When the few problems with scoring and opponent communication get sorted out it will make a great game even better cheers all

There is no indication of a new message, so players don't usually read it until they manually open the chat. Plus it may not be visible at all due to chat bugs. You can try doing a user search on Steam or this forum and contact them that way.

As for the tourney overall - I haven't lived through something nearly as messy in a long time and you can pull my name from the big tourney because I can't imagine living though it for nine months.
Between, people getting 2000 points for not playing to people not getting points for early wins to not being able to watch opponents turn - this is a shitshow of insane proportions for a franchise so well know...
...Yes, I am all pissy because instead of reaching for a podium, I have (quite unintentionally) won the game in round 13 to a big yellow fuck you, no points for you...

-That also happened to me. I quit the game, then restarted it. Once it took a half a dozen attempts but it worked after that.

Can you guys imagine doing that for 18 rounds/9 months in current state?

I just wanted to post something similar - I won my axis game in round 12 and I am getting 4xx points???? Shouldnt in this cases the winner get all the remaining round points, all killed unit points as well as a boni for achieving targets early. Especially Barbarossa was in the end all of speed, catching targets fast, create pockets etc. - instead it is a better play-style to do WW1 style trench-warfare in this tournament - rolling on slow, destroying each damn bunker even if not in your way and wait for the last target to be taken in the end round. As an Axis player you should motivate them to live Blitzkrieg - not to slow down by purpose to get more points.

I would have got more points by not taking all the victory fields at all but playing to round 20.

I hope this point-issue will be solved for the tournament.

The only negative part is the waiting for your turn and not knowing if your playing 1 turn or a few. In future i encourage players to communicate with there opponent by the chat box regarding best play time. We all live in different time zones and have work and family commitments so so a bit of compromising between each other is good. There has been suggestions of a qualifying round before the world championship so maybe as part of the introduction or tournament rules the organizers could encourage opponents to express to each other there best playing times. Look forward to the World championships

Good question, same thing happened on day 1 of round 2 to another player but I couldn't find player BYE. Maybe I am just going blind though...

I'm pretty sure BYE wouldn't pass through a qualifying tournament. He never plays.
